Who's Eligible?
Qualifying for a Canadian Study Experience
- Acceptance Letter
- Financial Resources
- Intention To Leave
- Being Admissible
Valid Acceptance Letter
One of the primary eligibility criteria for a Canadian Study Permit is to have a valid acceptance letter from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. This acceptance letter serves as written documentation that you have been admitted to a program of study and is a strict requirement under Canadian immigration law (IRPR 219). Exceptions are made only for family members of foreign nationals who have already secured a work or study permit.
Sufficient Financial Resources
Financial stability is another crucial factor for obtaining a Study Permit in Canada. According to IRPR 220, applicants must demonstrate that they have enough financial resources to cover tuition fees, living expenses for themselves and any accompanying family members, as well as round-trip transportation costs to and from Canada. This ensures that you can focus on your studies without the need to work for financial sustenance while in Canada.
Intention to Leave Canada
One of the key requirements for obtaining a Study Permit is to demonstrate your intent to leave Canada upon the completion of your studies, as stipulated by IRPR 216(1)(B). Essentially, the permit is issued with the understanding that your stay is temporary, and you're expected to depart Canada when your authorized period of stay concludes. This is to ensure compliance with Canadian immigration laws.
Being Admissible to Canada
In accordance with Canadian immigration regulations, you must be deemed admissible to enter and remain in Canada. Being admissible means you have no criminal, security, or health-related issues that would prevent you from entering the country. This requirement is in line with standard procedures to maintain the safety and integrity of the Canadian immigration system.
